Police say the man who killed her, Anthony Sanchez-Ramos, 26, was driving a stolen truck and desperately trying to get away. Investigators said they were trying to pull him over for speeding and running a stop sign.

They said he ran a red light, and Courschesne was killed immediately. Sanchez-Ramos died later at the hospital.

On Friday, Paul and Kari Courchesne saw each other for the first time since learning about their mother’s death. They said she was a generous woman who loved the Lord and her family more than anything.

Police later found a gun and drugs in Sanchez-Ramos' car. An autopsy will determine if he was under the influence of any drugs at the time of the crash.

Court records show Sanchez-Ramos has been arrested for drugs numerous times before.
